Mitchell & Son has just announced Blue Spot, a new of its Single Pot Still Irish Whiskey. Joining the Red Spot, Green Spot and Yellow Spot expressions, it reunites the historic Spot whiskey family for the first time in over 56 years.
Blue Spot is a mix of Midleton whiskeys of 7 Years (up to 20 Years) matured in bourbon, sherry and madeira casks. They use a medium bodied spirit, which works best with speciality casks. Contrary to the other expressions this is bottled at cask strength – the ABV will vary annually.
The Madeira casks are the unique flavour element of this Blue Spot expression. They are coopered in Jerez and sent to Henriques & Henriques for a 3 year seasoning period with sweet Tinta Negra wine (around 80-90 grams of sugar).
